Baluchistan

Baluchistan is a rugged, mountainous and thinly settled land north of Molodo on the west coast of Jambu, known as the home of the Aryans, warlike nomads with pale skin and dark hair. They usually attack strangers on sight, value courage in battle above everything and hold that only those strong enough to seize what they need deserve to live, so tribes often fight one another and sometimes raid neighboring villages. Cowardice is punished by death, yet they respect brave enemies and sometimes spare those who fight with great valor.

They live in small villages of yurts, huts of felt over wooden frames, often mounted on ox carts so a tribe can move quickly. They keep goats, yak, wild horses ridden to war and a woolly camel whose hair gives the felt for their homes. They are animists who believe everything has a spirit, and quite a few of their shamans meddle with black magic. Beyond the Altai mountains to the north live primitive humans whom, for reasons no one knows, the Aryans never attack.
